Personal Virtual Desktop in Cloud Available From ZeroPC

ZeroDesktop, Inc. announced a new ‘Freemium’ plan for its ZeroPC personal desktop in the cloud, providing worldwide consumers with 1GB of free cloud storage, plus integrated access to up to an additional free 14GB from popular cloud storage services, for a total of up to 15GB of free combined storage.

A pay-as-you-go ZeroPC plan, starting at $1 per month, is also available for power-users who require up to 50GB of storage and expanded features. Existing ZeroPC users may continue to use their pay-as you go account or open a new Freemium account without a credit card or subscription fees.

"In the cloud computing era, people are moving increasing amounts of their personal content to the cloud, but it is becoming scattered across multiple sites and devices. This is creating user confusion and difficulty in being able to access their content whenever and wherever they want," said Young Song, CEO of ZeroDesktop. "ZeroPC provides a paradigm shift from traditional PCs where the content is stored on local hard drives, to a secure, cloud-based virtual desktop where we help users manage, access and unify all of their personal cloud content into a single place. Since beginning the beta-stage in April 2011, we have received a wealth of feedback from the ZeroPC community of personal cloud service users, and are continuing to add more valuable features. In emerging countries where hardware resources are limited, ZeroPC provides the lowest cost of computing per user. We are now positioned to help worldwide consumers unscatter and unify their digital content from multiple devices and services."

ZeroPC is the way to unify, access and manage your personal cloud content   

ZeroPC is different from a storage company because it provides users with an integrated social Web desktop experience. Users can ‘see’ all of their content using ZeroPC regardless of where the content resides on their local computer, in popular Web storage services, in social media sites, or in ZeroPC cloud storage. ZeroPC’s all-in-one content management hub aggregates and unifies all of the user’s documents, emails, photos, music, videos, and social media content. Users can find, manage, access and shares all their content from a single site with a single ZeroPC login, without needing to learn and remember multiple user interfaces and passwords.

To start using ZeroPC
